A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
simply got this message when SunOne4.0 tried to compile one of my classes. I saw later that i typed a 'c' at the end of the source by error, and that it made the compiler crash.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
compile the source as it is below, with the bogus 'c' character at the end of the file. will not crash if the character is not there.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
i should get an error, don't know which one, about this last character.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
